Product Description

Melding original Jazzmaster tone with modern feel, the 50’s Journeyman Relic is based on a two-piece select ash body and tinted maple riftsawn neck with a ‘57 Soft V-shaped neck profile---along with modern player features like the stable, intonatable RSD Jazzmaster bridge and 9.5 inch-radius fingerboard.

The original Jazzmaster was created for jazz guitarists, but it made big waves in surf rock instead. This characteristic twist of fate is embodied in the Jazzmaster itself, with its revolutionary offset waist, newly designed tremolo system and new pickups with a unique wiring and switching system---a significant departure from Teles and Strats. Celebrating innovation while honoring a time-tested classic, Fender Custom Shop finishes this guitar with a Journeyman Relic lacquer coating with the scars of a treasured guitar, played for decades.

What started as a simple string and pedal sales catalog has grown exponentially over the past thirty years. The early days were a time where catalogs didn't have much of a presence in the industry, but what began as a college dorm room operation grew rapidly. In 1986 we moved to a full product offering and 64-page catalog, which over the years has grown to 162 pages. Join the AMS family and get your free catalog now!
